A rare 'blood moon' total lunar eclipse is captured near totality from the village of Donon, 40 km from Pontevedra, in northwestern Spain, early on March 14, 2025. This type of eclipse happens when Earth blocks the light from the sun that normally illuminates the moon, resulting in it appearing deep red, as if it were covered in blood. In Spain, totality occurred at 8:25 am.(AFP) expand-icon View Photos in a new improved layout
